Program description:
 
Landing Party is a fun, cute little adventure game in which the characters
played during the game can be user defined.  So any person, historical figure,
family member, or television star can become one of your party.  Your party
consists of 5 crew members of a possible 30 people to chose from.  Each person
has a physical and mental history which is created upon picking a particular
member to join your party.  To be specific, your party is deserted on a plant
searching for energy crystals to power your damaged ship.  You chose five
members of your crew to search on the plant.  Once the party is selected, you
are confronted with various enemies or friends upon which you must decide to
shoot them, fight them, talk to them or retreat from them.  Since this
adventure is text based and menu driven it is simple to understand and
hilarious play when friend's psychological profiles are placed into the
character history file.  If you and your party survive each encounter with the
people of the planet, then you get your crystals and retreat back to your ship
to safety.  If you don't....  Landing Party has color text, but will run on a
monochrome monitor and an IBM with at least one drive.  Landing Party comes
complete with documentation and menu files. Experiment with the default
characters, then make a few of your own.
